Thunderbird Community Forum

I dropped by to see if I replies to a query about Thunderbird. Sometimes the options to Login wouldn't let me in, it kept going to "Como colaborar" that went to a Page with mixed English and Portuguese, another page had mixed Spanish, Portuguese and English.

After a lot of translating, I made it my login. Wow! And my day has just begun. :) ~r

I tutor a number of students in math which necessitates using Greek letters. Easy enough in WordPerfect etc but I can find no usable info on how to do it in Thunderbird.

1. I downloaded the german language pack for correcting my writings. To use ist I have to go to options and writing correction and make a makr there. Works perfect until the next email than I have to make it again, no way to store it ??? I always jumps back to english

When typing messages with incorrect word, Thunderbird advises the error, but does not offer alternatives. This worked on my old PC, but not on newly installed version on new PC.

Thanks.

I recently move to a new Windows 11 computer and seemed to have done the move correctly, given that everything showed up, and I could send and receive emails.

For no apparent reason, however, the keyboard suddenly began mistyping in the message portion of the email message frame but not in the header ("To," "Subject," etc.) areas. For example, when pressed, z appears as {, y as z, h as i (but followed by a space), 6 as 7, d as e, and so on.

I tried various fixes, which didn't work, such as pressing windows key + space bar simultaneously, or left alt + space bar simultaneously, to no effect at all: nothing appeared, nothing happened. I looked in "Settings" to see if there were any other keyboards listed, which there weren't.

This is happening nowhere else, in any other application, but here, and I've never seen anything like it before. Also, I've used Thunderbird for quite awhile and never saw nor heard of anything like this.

I sure could use some help. Thanks.
